Beschreibung:
The issue of relativism looms large in many discussions of knowledge, reality, society, religion, culture and gender. This book offers a path through these debates. It begins by clarifying what exactly relativism is and how it differs from scepticism and pluralism. It then examines five main types of cognitive relativism.
